i mostly lag when i play french and worst of all the Germans when im in a lobby with them i lag like hell cant even get a hit on them its like there ahead of us think on ghost there need to come up with a new way so people can play fairly instead of this match making and when if im in a game if a get host makes me log even more so i have no option but to leave the lobby think this game is f**ked i really looking forward to ghost cant wait for the game i say good luck to the team that made it

Ghosts will be much the same. There is nothing you can do about the lag. Dedicated servers will still lag.

If I see French, German or Spanish people in the lobby I back out straight away because I know I'll lag like a noob. When I pull host I lag like at least 3 days behind everyone and my internet is decent. 80 megabits down and 20 megabits up and it still doesn't stop the lag.

I know that much speed is overkill for online gaming anyway but hey everything is connected to my net. Phones, Laptops, Desktops, PS3, tablets, Freeview boxes and BT Vision + BT Sport blah blah. I figured I need the speed.

I'm a UK based player and I am ALWAYS in French, German and Italian lobbies, I think it's because I downloaded the game, I used to really enjoy the banter with the Yanks and fellow Brits, I don't even bother wearing a mic anymore

I'm pretty sure you are in the same pool of players like the rest of us with a digital copy too, the matchmaking just doesn't work very well and it creates these lobbies with people from all across Europe (or lobbies with people that have an extremely wide variety of pings towards the host).

I live in Finland but constantly get matched with French, Spanish, Italian and German players too. I'm sure every nation has people playing with crappy connections, and some of these players i get matched with are quite far away from me too so there will be some lag, but the majority of French and Spanish players seem to have really crappy connections.

UK is the biggest market area for CoD in Europe, but i rarely see any of them in my lobbies. France & Germany are second and third so it's all not that suprising to get matched with them occasionally since i live i country that only has a bit over 5 milllion people, but it seems like pretty much no one in Scandinavia never plays this game. Funny how you still get more local matchmaking in some of the older games that have a fraction of the playerbase compared to what BO2 has (or at least had, the numbers have gone down but the problem was the same when more people were playing).
